This will be a big game if we need to get in to the playoffs as a Wild Card. It would be nice to have the head-to-head against PHI in our pocket.

Right now Packers are 0-3 against teams who are currently in playoff position. They are 6-0 against teams that are not. If the Packers want to be a playoff team, they have to start beating playoff teams. The Packers have games left with the Eagles, Patriots and Lions. They are probably going to have to beat at least 1 of those teams to make the playoffs.

This is what worries me. Right now it seems the only way we can win in the playoffs is if we somehow obtain home field advantage and are allowed to play the worst teams in the league.

Yes we lost all 3 on the road, but right now if we are a wild card that is all we will get.

There is another way to look at this. The Packers are 0-3 in games where the Packers offense has to operate in an extremely loud stadium (Seattle, Detroit, New Orleans). Rodgers has a passer rating of 88.4 in those games. In the 6 wins where noise isn't a huge factor, he has a passer rating of 136.2. That would bode well for the rest of the regular season as the Packers have no road games in domes.

It would also mean the Packers would rather not play a playoff game at Seattle or New Orleans.
